Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said he would speak to his U.S. counterpart Joe Biden on Thursday morning and that the two could discuss migration, amid concerns about increased border crossings and disruptions to trade.
Dozens of major U.S. agricultural groups on Wednesday urged the U.S. to reopen two rail crossings on the Texas-Mexico border to restore trade routes closed due to rising migrant crossings.
The White House later said it was working with Mexico to resolve issues that led to the closures.
[What does that mean in terms of Senate negotiations on border security? We need shipping routes to work properly, but not while thousands or more pour over the border every day. In three years of Biden’s border crisis, we now have an estimated 4.6 million illegal immigrants who have entered the US. That’s an invasion, not an asylum need, and it’s a critical gap in national security. — Ed]
